Johann Heinrich Schlösser (born October 24, 1802 in Lübeck , † January 14, 1887 in Hamburg ) was a German architect and draftsman .
Life
Schlösser was a student of the Copenhagen architect Joseph Christian Lillie from Lübeck . After his death in 1827 he asked in an appeal in the Lübeckische advertisements on October 27, 1827 that the "drawings that had been lost from Lillie's estate should be shown to him and returned". He studied at the building academies in Berlin and Munich and traveled to Belgium, Denmark, France, Holland, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Hungary and was involved in several building projects.
From 1830 to 1832, together with August Tischbein, he published the portfolio of Monuments of Old German Architecture in Lübeck . Today it is not only of artistic importance, but also a cityscape of Lübeck's old town with architectural significance.
In Hamburg, in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in the area of the Althamburg Memorial Cemetery, the collective grave of "Architects", among others, Johann Heinrich Christopher Schlösser is remembered.
